These demons eat me from the inside out
just like the mother fuckers that raped me
chill out on a bottle of ativans to sedate me
but i can still feel every ounce of hatred
the drugs can break my concentration
but i still feel the penetration
man im havin sick nightmares, im day dreamin
im the one with the gun and everyone is screamin
now im overboard like a seaman
left alone to face my demons
theres fire in my eyes that burn a river down my spine
my whole self is consumed in a flame
burning out everything with everyone to blame
theres ice in my heart running through my veins
i guess you can call me illegally insane
something is ripping right through my brain
sick thoughts of how to end a life
when i walk around carrying this knife
maybe i should use this ice pick
shots to the heart for these pricks
they say im a sick bitch
cause wen they get at me i dont flinch
but they dont know the half
how ill have the last laugh
after i bury you alive and spit on the dirt
i cant forgive you when i picture you ripping my pants and my shirt
for drugging me up just to force your way in
your screaming now, but i cant hear what your saying
still remember every guy there smiling as they each took a turn
until i blow your house up, and its your turn to burn
i tried to push back but i was paralyzed
that was then and this is now, when i run up on you in disguise
three shots to the face,
and one to the heart just in case
i have nothing left to fear
theres no words i wanna hear
when im cuttin 'em open with a chainsaw
or put on brass knuckles and rock their jaw
no one can relate to the visions i saw
or the ones im still seeing,
the ones where im taking the life of a human being
they say anger is a stage
but this aint anger, this is rage
rage that leaves puncture wounds that'll never heal
leaving me to never again feel
all the love that escaped me
on the night these animals raped me

Life Is A Journey:

Life is a journey through many terrain
From gardens of pleasure to deserts of pain.
From an ocean of love to a jungle of hate
From mountains of glory to canyons of fate.
There's a highway for joy and a highway for sorrow
A road for today and a road for tomorrow.
So choose your path wisely and walk with care
If you follow your heart you'll find your way there.
I've been to the garden and planted seeds there
I've been to the desert and felt the despair
I swam in the ocean and drank of its wine
I've done all these things since you were mine.
I climbed up the mountain to touch the sky
I went to the canyon and started to cry.
I've traveled both highways, both today and tomorrow
I've basked in the joy and wallowed in sorrow.
My path has been chosen and I walk it with care
I've followed my hear and I'm on my way there.
So I'll just keep on walking till I find what I'm after
To mountains and oceans and gardens of laughter.

http://home.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user YOU

Everything was worked out.
I was so glad to be back in the city.
I felt comfortable.
I felt like life was reborn in me.

YOU opened my window.
YOU tore off the screen.
YOU put a gun to my face.

I gave YOU every opporotunity to do anything else...
but you...
YOU decided RAPE.

I thought, I shouldn't feel bad.
I got off easy.
YOU could have beat me.
YOU could have killed me.

But now,

I live with fear.
Now, I think it could be anyone...

YOU could be anyone.

YOU are everyone!

I am always afraid...

I've begun to forget about my pain, my anxiety, my night
THAT YOU TOOK FROM ME

YOU hurt my whole family.
My family is consumed and torn apart at the same time... BY YOU!

Sometimes I think, it would have been better if YOU killed me and spared the other women that came after me...

Either way, YOU will have won.

Instead, I choose to fight.

I will fight everything that YOU have done.

I will fight YOU in court.

I will fight YOU in my nightmares!

YOU don't want to "man-up" to what YOU have done...

I'll do YOU one better...

I will "woman-up" enough to put YOU away!

I hate YOU for how YOU make me feel...
every second...
of every minute...
of every day...

However,

I will endure that,

so that no other woman will have to ever meet YOU.

The waves of change ebb and flow
over the sands of time.
For me, there is a part they never touch.

Innocence lost, a life changed forever
Where did the girl with the dreams go?
What happened to her? She was happy.
She had her life planned and waiting -
that was all taken away.

What did he think? It was all in fun -
it was just a game? It didn't matter
he took what was not his to take.
He made decisions that were not his to make.

A monster in the darkness - who is this man?
Where is the golden boy you know?
His sweet breath, his skin so tan-
All this is gone - who is this man?

This man - all fists and disdain,
holding you down - causing you pain.
A part that was alive now is slain.

Who is this man? This is your love-
This is the person you held above
The one everyone thought you fit like a glove.

This is the man who held your dreams
Now, he holds your screams.
A light is his eyes gleams - he glories in the
streams of tears from your eyes

My Father loved me; My Brother Loved me; My Husband loved
Best.
Now in one month they all got there rest...but I was
Left alone...I no longer had a family or a home. Vapor?
Life is a vapor...I was shown!
I went through years of tears and laughter also true
It was that laughter that we shared...I remembered..
That got me through.
I remarried and loved,my husband my children, I didn't know It was the love these three showed me-I showed YOU!

what gave you the right
your hands do not stop
your weight pushing down
your breathing louder
your movements harder
Your in my soul
when will you leave
Blood staining my skin
Tears drenching my hair
trapped beneath your strength
fear and emptiness
Pain returning again

In the dark and ancient mystery of night...
a young girl is searching for her clothing of virtue and pride.
He was creeping out, as a cat on the midnight prowl.
This was how she lost her innocence...
Aligned with shamed, and stripped of her pride.

When I was in the 9th grade, I was raped by 5 guys at a party. I didnt tell anyone for years. I put a gun to my head and pulled the trigger.
Recently, I was forced to overcome the obstacle of telling my husband of 3 years and my mother. It was very difficult, but it really made a difference.

TALK ABOUT IT. IT HELPS

ACT OF WAR

An act of war, hate, and frustration
Anger and violence through penetration.
The tears and screams go unheard.
If only they’d listen to the one little word

To re-live that night everyday
To be reminded of it in everyway
When you shower or when you shave
To yourself, you will always be a slave

Your emotions and your life begin to rattle
Every time you think of that battle
You ask yourself, when will this end?
Where was a friend with a shoulder to lend?

This war has gone on and on for years
But is it really worth all of the tears?
Is it worth re-living the pain
Of the night that your childhood was slain

You wish to forgive, but refuse to forget
But sometimes you want nothing to do with it.
You never know how much life means
Until you are laying there listening to your own screams.

Afterwards, all you want is to die
But when it doesn’t work you begin wonder why
You try to start over, starting at the end
Finally looking forward to what’s just around the bend.

Know that you will always have your past
That’s exactly what it is, it doesn’t have to last.
It can never go away, it can never hide
Don’t wear it on your shoulder or have it by your side.

Rise up again and live like the sun
It wasn’t your fault you don’t have to run
Forgive yourself for the little mistakes
You will then see what a difference it makes

You’ll look in the mirror and not shed a tear
You’ll live a great life without all the fear
Turn to your family or to a friend
That is the only way that this war will ever end.

THAT NIGHT


Why after all this time.

am I hurting like I do?

Why am i starting to feel his crime?

its making me so blue.


That night,

I had blocked from my mind.

That night,

I prayed would rewind.


The damage was done.

The hurt was felt.

Definately wasnt fun.

My puirity it did melt.


Out of nowhere

the painfull event

an occasion so rare

to be heard, as if to vent.


Why after all this time,

am I hurting like I do?

Why am I starting to feel his crime?

Its making me so blue.


That night,

I had blocked from my mind.

That night,

I prayed would rewind.


A true miracle did arise,

which I did not know.

And to my surprise

A little Angel began to grow.


From this true story

I must confess

I found the glory

And he could care less.


That night,

I had blocked from my mind.

That night,

I prayed would rewind.


The accomplishment of nothing,

but an innocent girls rape,

The birth of my little boy

And my reason for escape.

J.O.C

The Questions

It could happen to anyone, but has never happened to you.
So who are you to tell me what I could or could not do?
Who was he to cause me pain and make his self feel good?
Force me to do against my will what I never said I would.
Who are you to look at me and call me dirty names?
That nasty son of shit made me do those filthy things.
How can anyone say I liked it when the whole house heard me scream?
I rarely now can sleep at night and never do I dream.
What type of human would take his side defend him in the wrong,
And look the victim in the eye and say you should’ve played along?
What type of man could go to court and deny just what he saw?
Never mind that what his teammate did was against the law.
Why is it he chose to steal what he gets all the fucking time?
Hers and hers and hers and hers there was no need in taking mine.
Why is it that he hates me so when all I did was tell?
It was him who made this so and damned his self to hell.
He’s 6 ft3 and I’m only 5ft2” so what if I can’t play ball.
That gave him no right to hurt me I’m still human after all

One drink, two drink-
This party’s fine
Three drink, four drink-
A grand ole time

One by one,
And two by two
I drank them all
Who could'a knew?

Just lay down
I’m so tired now
Who would’ve known
The evil they’d allow

One kiss, two kiss-
I feel his breath
Three kiss, four kiss-
His lips are wet

Is it a dream?
I hope and wish
But it’s a nightmare
And I can’t do shit

I feel my head,
It’s hitting something
And then he’s inside
I can feel him sing

One tear, two tear-
But he doesn’t see
Three tear, four tear
I beg silently

Why can’t I move?
Why can’t I shout?
Will it ever stop?
This I doubt

I pass back out
For my own sanity
Wake up, wake up!
Now he’s shaking me

One step, two step-
Must get away
Three step, four step-
I didn’t want to play

My innocence he took
Something I can never mend
The scars he left
I can never tend

Still I try
To be so brave
And yet I live life
Always afraid

One life, two life-
They will destroy
Three life, four life-
They think we’re all toys

They never stop
Again and again
They think it’s a game
That has no end

So if you hear
Or if you see
Next time think twice
And speak out for me

Black Girl Pain
I live with my head stuck in nightmares
But when I wake is what I really fear
So I dream I never wake
I dream of falling off the cliff
Into the bottom of the lake
What makes it so scary to you?
You have it one year, one night
I see it like a plane every 5 minutes taking flight
You’re soon to open your eyes
I keep falling wishing
I finally die
I'm a black girl
Living in pain
Like Grant Hill
Injured in games
On the outside I'll eventually heal
But my heart not beating still
I try living on life support
Eventually they'll have to pull the plug
Cause if I have a problem
My friends are my last resort
At times I feel it’s me against the world
Telling myself I'll get through this
Asking WHY
Cause I'm too young for this
Screaming the words to lil Wayne's "FUCK THE WORLD"
And let'em die
In the dark wiping tears 4rm my eyes
I guess it’s an accessory
Of being in pain and a young black girl
I know how it feels
To be a black girl living in pain
But I put all that pain into an envelope with a seal
Addressed to GOD
Through your son Christ Jesus I pray
I send it off, but somehow
Return to sender
But why…how
And every time I get it back…
The pain grows
Pain from the woman who brought me into this world
The pain from when both her hands were tightly around my neck
Her knee in my stomach
Her shouting the words I’ll kill u, I’ll Kill u, I swear I’ll Kill u
Praying one day she might change
Do what a mother should do
But I guess because she's only one
She was unable to make due
Instead treated like a reject
Never had her respect
I know how it feels not to be loved
On the other hand I don’t know what love feels like
If it’s not someone
Insulting me, hitting me, or forcing me
Then loved is what I would never want to be
It was clear to me
Constantly being told "I wish I didn’t have you"
Caused this one Black girl
A lot of pain
Even if it wasn't true
Them nights I was over in the other room
I guess I couldn't hear you, you assume
But I heard it all
Night after night
It hurt me all
Never had a daddy
So I put a daddy in his place
Maybe that’s how I ended up being a victim of a case
Still fresh in my memory
The time, the event, the scenery
A lot of anger locked up within
I think my heart and chest is beefin'
The whole situation just eats at me
Cutting' my heart with a knife
Makes me feel like I could be nobody's wife
Never needed no one
Damn near raised me
Myself was always there for I
Just Me when there was no one else
So it was just me, myself, and I
Up late at night cryin to songs
Like Talib Kweli I try
Down in early mornings with a full day ahead her
She tries to force a smile
Trying to depict her as a happy soul
I’m tired of her pretending
I’m tired, restless
I've been at war since day one
9 months before 2.29.88
Still in it
9 months just basic training, before I'm sent
To fight to stay alive
In this war called life
I'm at a point where I’m so overwhelmed
I don’t know…I don’t know…I just don’t know
I diagnosis the girl within me has black girl pain
Cause...
Ma never loved me
Richard left me
Marlon Beat me
Matthew he did the best he could with me
Brian didn’t care for me
Victor teased me
Vanessa just couldn’t stand me
I came in this world with no family
I was never the one wanted to share
For me to say something was mine was rare
When my innocence was stole
My feelings was gone
Tooken
He robbed me
Took my spirits
Left me depress to be
I let him in
It was like I handed him the key
But one thing
Confronted
He claims he wasn’t a thief
He didn’t come in the night
Through a window
Didn’t hide in the dark
Plain to see like daylight
You were there, and u, also u
Dressed in disguise
That’s when he came
Time and time took what was mine
My most valuable possession
The one thing I was able to call my own
Not knowing what it meant then
I just knew it was wrong
I’m in a zone,
My mind roaming
Like it’s out of area like a t-mobile phone
Eyes closed
Tears rolling’
My body went numb
Damn when in hell
Will he be done?
Never making’ a sound
So I held it in
7 years without speaking’
Yeah I wanted to tell it
Like a broke pipe I was leaking’
Should have told it
But the question was who
So for 7 years on my chest is where I let it sit
Please don’t touch me
Don’t look at me
I am who I am cause of he
Maybe if Richard was around
I would have knew that I was a black queen
And what I had to do to protect that crown
Diane never disciplined me
So Marlon beat me
I remember nights
The only time when I let go to protect myself
If I didn’t want to see the bright light
Restricted times when he could beat me
Drunk and some nights high
I had to go through school days
With swollen eyes
I could fight back all I wanted
Mentally it helped
But physically it only hurt me more
Causing me
A black girl to live in pain
Too tired to fight it
Gave up the battle when they ran they train
When I tell that experience
I seem to lie
Why?
Ashamed!
Truth mode: Just not really ready to speak on it
A lot of shitty breaks huh
Fuck it
I lived a shitty life duh
Asking God in exchange for my tears just let that girl within me die
Cause I no longer wants to be the woman who cries
She No longer wants her to be the black girl who daddy filled her head with lies
No longer…
Say u loves her…
But put her in the trunk of your car
Sell her and a typewriter so u can get high
How could you do that daddy, Richard, who ever are?
Look at me
I’m standing tall like the statue liberty
Despite that God was forever testing her!
She did what she had to
She didn’t need u then, I don’t need u now
I’ll give u credit
Cause u wasn’t there
Effect she am who I am
Black girl living in pain…nah no longer
STRONG BLACK YOUNG WOMAN
That little black girl is no longer crying
No longer wishing of dying
With all odds against her,
She made it through
I’m not afraid to tell her story
I’m able to help other little girls and tell them not worry
Its brighter days ahead
And not to let bad stuff confine them because it will eventually define them
I remember the times the black girl living in pain was singing the lines…
No one ever told me life would be this hard
Growing up a black girl scarred
In so many ways I’ve realized I’ve come so far
You know the name, but don’t know the pain
Black Girl!!!!

"Broken Trust" By: Ruth White Wolf Doughty
On a bleak Novemeber day, This baby girl was born,
A promise from her parents, her safety they have sworn,
A precious lil' treasure for all the world to see,
This little girl had lots of charm, as cute as she could be,
A mothers love, a fathers pride,
Dirty secrets we must hide,
They dressed her up in frilly dresses,
Put curlers in her lovely tresses,
A smile to hide her burning tears,
She runs away from all she fears,
Dealing with her fathers lust,
This lil' girl learns "Broken Trust",
She looks to mom, but is betray[ed],
Shut your mouth, you must obey,
With a heart full of anger and regret,
And a mind that won't let her forget,
This lil' girl becomes a teen,
Angry hurt and very mean,
Siblings that she must protect,
She knows her parents will object,
This teen had finally had enough,
Now she's a woman, rough and tough,
No more anger, no more pain,
No more hiding, no more shame,
I know this one thing is a must,
No child should ever know this..."Broken Trust"

"The Child Within" By Ruth White Wolf Doughty
Who is this child I see, when I look in the mirror each day? I know not from whence she came, but I find her intriguing. My parents don't like her much, they say she is a bad influance on me, all the better. To escape her reality, and to block out the world as she knows it, she paints her eyes the color of midnight! To me she is soo beautiful. I am frightened and trembling, but she stands tall when I am weak and full of fear, and I love her dearly. She cries tears of black for me, to show me her love. She will stand by my side till the bitter end, and protect me with her life. Has anyone else noticed her yet? I wonder? Her spiked heals and leather will keep them at bay, and she will never be held down again. You will all be wondering why? Who did this? Why do I want to keep you out? But you dare not approach me to ask. Just stay away, she will be my only friend, and you will not, any more. The scars on my arms will some day fade away, but the torment on my heart and soul are forever, and will never mend.

TODAY, I AM STRONG AND I AM BOLD
HERE IS SOMETHING TO HELP YOU RELEASE THINGS OLD

I WAS RAPED, TOO
BUT GOD RESTORED ME TO NEW

AFTER, HOLDING ON TO THE PAIN FOR 10 YEARS OF LACK
I WANTED MY SANITY – YES, MY PEACE BACK

NO MORE WILL I WONDER IF, WHY OR HOW
I’M GOING TO START, NOW

THOUGH, IT DID HURT – I DID FORGIVE
BECAUSE, I WANTED TO TRULY LIVE

I GOT TIRED OF HURTING TODAY AND YESTERDAY
SO, I BEGAN HELPING OTHERS THAT CAME MY WAY

NOT ONLY DID THEY RAPE MY BODY
BUT, ALSO MY MIND
SO, I DID LOOSE AND BIND

I USED TO BE CAPTIVE
NOW, I HAVE MY FREEDOM AND LIVE

I’M NOT SAYING THAT IT’S EASY TO DO
BUT, IT’S ENTIRELY UP TO YOU

YOU CAN CONTINUE TO LET THEM MOLEST YOUR MIND
OR YOU CAN TAKE A BREATH OF FRESH AIR AND UNWIND

FORGET ABOUT WHAT OTHERS MAY THINK
GOD IS YOUR LINK

HOLDING ONTO THE HURT AND PAIN IS AFFECTING OTHERS AND YOU

the word

rage, anger and fear to my very core
inwardly crying and screaming for no more
surprised by one and forcefully dragged aside
in the dark and overgrown bushes, he yanks me to hide
not sure what totally happened kept blacking out
threatened with weapon and force...dare not shout
i will beat and kill you....leave you here
tears and struggles...increasing fear
pushing and pulling....causing me pain
i was used and abused...trying to shut down my brain
he clumsily fumbled on top...he was waiting to attack?
prepared he was....for whomever walked the track
was i stupidly in the wrong place at the wrong time
but, that does not excuse anything...nor any crime
he had his sick way....and did the ghastly deed
stripping away my heart and soul....my utterly basic need
now i struggle and am frightened of way too much
i barely sleep...then dream of his wretched touch
i can barely speak of it...ashamed of it all
never contacted the authorities...could not make the call
did not even tell my supposed supportive family
i will never disclose to them what came to be
am i weak or strong? i have not a clue.
emotions are flying high....more than a few
i cant even admit...i cant say the word
one i never thought would happen to me....a word we have all heard

I can’t carry on…

I can’t carry on
Feeling pain
Feeling the shame
Its my fault
You did this to me
I can’t be healed
Nothing makes sense
And I wonder will I ever heal?

I can’t carry on
Feeling this shame
Knowing its my blame
No one understands
How this feels
But one thing I do know Is
I’ll never be healed.

http://www.ourchurch.com/member/P/Publishing_Easy/ Hi I am a rape survivor and although I wasn't raped by my Daddy, I know so many girls are. This poem was inspired by the movie"Bastard of South Carolina"

Daddy:Deboe
He came at me
with such a look
in his eyes
It should have
been fine
but
I wanted to cry
He touched me
like no man should
I thought it felt good
Any woman would
Thinking Back
Now I know why
I hated that day
It was Daddy
It was his usual way

http://poemhunter.com/marina-gipps Rape by a Peace-Loving Hippy

Teacher showed me how to fix my poems
by trying to fix me.
Feeling my pink nipples and comparing them to Lewanda’s blue one’s.
Lewanda didn’t enjoy it either, he said.
But eventually, you get used to it.
Interview. Yes but please,
Stop it
As myselves shrink themselves up and recoil into another sad creature.
You’ll finish the interview for me?
You tell me to stop crying?
I am not a big baby, please don’t call me that.
You are like those bullies at school and yet you are an authority?
Don’t worry about my grade?
All I learned is this:
I can barely think with all the hashish you fed me,
telling me I needed to relax.
What about my sanity, you fat hippie Boulder poser?
You dull Berrigan wannabee…
I forgot my questions for you that day.
These are my questions now.
I ask them over and over again:
You say I will forget
sixteen years later?
I didn’t forget for all the glory…
that dear god didn’t punish you enough.
Only my friend Charlie who accosted you on the street saved my soul.
(Thank some higher force for that one kind act in my life.
He said you looked scared like a little stuffed, shrimp, you spineless weasel,
as he lifted you by the collar in front of students on the street.)
And where was your beloved wife, Joanna, of many years?
Did you bury her yet?
You say she got old and tubby?
You want to put her in a box I wish to inhabit instead:
dead thing away from your shifty memory.
I hope you die of drought in Sedona.
Your sabbatical siesta plagues me.
Your soul-less poetry has always bored me.
I hope more than anything
that god (wherever he’s hiding) knocks your lights out.

Dreaming-

Encircled by terror, his face appears in a thousand mirrors
all out pain and shame, I sure gotta tame this game
because i'm not the same
i'm on a different page, this one lacks rage
i'm not confined to a cage
time to say goodbye to the pictures and open up to the scriptures
this is where the truth is told...the forgiveness road
i can drop off my load and get back what was sold
to get respect for myself is the object i'm dealin
to see my new light will lead me to heaven
this ain't a gift i'll be sellin
the only angel i'll be feelin is the ones that be singin
no pcp trip compares to that intriguin legion
this light is legit, ain't no fake colors to submit

Fading tears

my tears may fade away but the pain bestowed upon my heart hurts everyday.
the scars that you'll never see are the ones that lie inside of me.
the bruses that made me strong are the reminders of how i was almost gone.
my strong will and soul is what gave me the fight to keep looking for a hope in life
the wishing and hoping to see the light of another day is what i kept in sight as i began to feel the shame
and the pain of something i could never begin to explain.
as the weeks turned into days a new life became. her name is donna page,
she is the last piece of me that he would ever see.
now as he suffers as i once have i begin to put the pieces of my life back.

i pull him off
memories woven they cling
like an old dress
binding yet familiar
i am unused to comfort now
a stain lies left across
my nakedness despite
the times I scrub hard
will this imprint on
soul on skin dirty
red on what i desire
so clean leave someday
all so unexpected yet welcome?
i would stand tall relieved
yet fearful of new vulnerabilities
and wish for clothes to hide in

A Memory

The cheap brandy scorched a path down my throat
While the crisp beer chased it away
The freckled orange filter of a Marlboro rests between my nicotine stained fingertips
"A memory can be..."
The skunk scents of the pot permeate my sweater
Their grayish-blue wisps slither through my hair
"...a paradise from which..."
The tan and grey couch makes me itch
While the liquor and drugs seep into my consciousness
Making everyone's voices drift into swirly sounds
"...we cannot be driven;..."
The bathroom is illuminated in a harsh, yellow glare
The toilet is cold as I stare out the window
The gargle of the toilet reminds me of the ocean
As the mirror's truth makes me walk away
"...it may also be..."
The bedroom's floor is strewn with used and putrid clothes
It's bed is bare, purple, and flowery- a deception
A window is cracked open, the bitter winter penetrates my skin
"...a hell from which..."
My virginity is stolen on the deceptive bed
My innocence buried into it's deep purple
My purity layed to rest amongst the dirty clothes
While snowflakes swirled slowly to the ground
"...we cannot escape."

I have periods of time where I'm ok, and then I get his with overwhelming and intense feeling all at once. I have no one to talk to, no one who actually understands, and no resources!

I saw your poem postings, and I got inspired. I thought I'd post one too. May all the other survivors reading find such a good outlet.

The scars are still there
Although they have healed,
Shiny and white
The scabs have all peeled.
The welts that were there
Have faded as though
The skin has a mind
To forget what it knows.

But the heart is a camera,
It takes what it sees.
It cannot forget,
It won't be relieved.
Suffering, loathing,
Vengance and hate
Are captured within
With no route for escape.
The heart will remember,
And keep its effects
With tiny red fingers
That interlace and connect.

What does it want
With a past overcame?
And those sudden reminders
That fill us with shame?
The answer perhaps
Lies still in the heart.
To find a luminous life,
One must know the dark.

Marriage Rights

Naked bleeding tasting carpet
she gathered what he didn't take
the flow of this wife's lesson ran
slowly down each battered thigh

It made her sick to stand up straight
she couldn't even say her name
her body screamed in sickening pain
but it never made a sound

She heard his evening shower start
her pieces fell from soapy flesh
washing away marriage rights
as good as new he'll come again

Why did she have to buy that dress?
wear pretty jewelry and get her hair done
she even smelled of powder roses
pinkened polish on her nails

Long before the roast beef tendered
before the candle spilled it's color
he quickly grabbed her tiny throat
pinned her body to the wall

You nasty little whore
who have you been doing?
come here let me smell you
you will learn to be my wife

She buttoned broken buttons
washed dinner dishes twice
poured herself a cup of tea
swallowed pills to make her numb

She hoped tomorrow would never find her
but the day broke with her bones
she never saw the hammer coming
smashing cracking her sleeping skull

Tomorrow found her once again
in a coma morphine pumping
she couldn't even say her name
her body screamed in sickening pain

...but it never made a sound

A day in my life, you could'nt bare.

being constantly put down, only an objext at which to stare.

when you always watch your parents fight

the hatred never stops, day after day, night after night.

then when your mom finally gets away,

you have to helplessly stare as her new boyfriends beats her everyday.

you think your life cant get any worse, because its already so far from prefection,

that is until you realize you have become to object of his affection.

Moms never home, but hes always there

constantly hitting you and pulling your hair.

you lay silently in your bed night after night

eyes full of tears, soul full of fright.

you think about dying,

as you lie there dying,

hoping he'll go away,

silently praying that he wont want to play.

despite your desperate attempts, he always came,

making sure you knew that you were to blame.

you know no one will understand, so you never tell,

you just await the end of your life, the end of your living hell.

So beautiful and happy...with the world at her feet
She twinkled...and she danced...and she impressed the world with her grace and charm. Her family were so proud.

And one dark night...as she lay sleeping her last pure sleep
He came for her. A masked man with no face...and he traced the curves of her body with his hunting knife
And he took her soul...and put out the shining star

Monsters are for Real
Catherine Ann

when I was a little girl,
i wanted a dad.
I got one.

what a dad!!
he played with me, he bought me toys,
he tickled me – a lot –
don’t all dads??

i don’t remember when my dad turned into a monster
i don’t think it was suddenly
but suddenly that’s what he was.

monsters come out of the dark –
that’s what he did.
monsters do mean things and hurt you –
that’s what he did.

i was the only one that knew
everybody saw a nice man.
i thought they were all blind,
or maybe i was just crazy.

“how nice that your dad loves you”
“don’t talk bad about him, he’s your dad”
can’t anybody but me see that he isn’t my dad
HE’S A MONSTER COMING OUT OF THE DARK.

didn’t anybody want to know why he wasn’t my dad anymore?
didn’t anybody care enough to ask?
didn’t anybody wonder why the little girl cried so much,
especially when she had to stay home and play mom?

my mom told me there was no such thing as monsters.
she told me there was nothing to be afraid of in the dark.
but deep down inside, i knew she was wrong.
i knew it was a LIE.

monsters are for real, and they live in the dark –
but the scariest part of all is that
they look and talk like real people in the daylight.

Now I’m a big girl, but I’ll always believe in monsters.
Sometimes I still dream about them,
But if I wake up they go away.
I wish that would have worked when I was little.

I’ll always listen when children tell me they are afraid of the dark.
I’ll always try to help them scare their monsters away.
Because even though my head might tell me they don’t exist,
My heart knows better – monsters ARE for real.

" Fragments"
Scattered fragments, pieces of me. Shards of all I once knew laying scattered and shattered, all around my dreams.
Where is the little girl I use to know where is the adventorous adolesentent I once was, what happened to the young adult who planned for so much. Where did she go? I once was so full of vivacious, precociousness with lots of energy. My charismatic presence filled the air, though now only stall dank air full of sadness and dispair replace it.

Alone…
Have you ever felt so alone in the world, You’ve turned ya back on ya friends,
Not realising it was you facing the wrong direction,
An easy mistake to make, with not such an easy correction,
Sometimes the way we interpretate people and situations,
Is different to one another,
Perspective, often with error, a mistake of our own creation ,
And yet it may take days, months or years to even realise,
That our view on things can be full of illusions and self lies,
Lies that we never wanted to make,
But our self-conciensnous did through anger and self hate,
As though we were not feeling down enough as it is
We cut deep enough to hurt but never kill
Torture to our bodies, punishments that can make us ill
But even after punishment is over we continue to harm,
Scaring evidence left to fade from our arm
A catch 22, a circle of pain but our sense is hard to find and regain
But theirs always someone out there who will do all they can
To set our minds straight and relieve us from the pain
And leave our minds at rest under the orders of sanity once again.

I stand before you in wonder, a wonder, the world's
Eight, eighty-eighth, eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eighth
You are not a fish but a firefly.
(No waters could contain you)

Wings larger than life, paused before me
Light softened like dusk, yet another miracle of you
(This softness, woman-miracle)
Shines radiant, iridescent through
Your translucent wings, large like atmosphere

Fragility I gaze upon, dazzled
Not by your beauty but by your wings,
(Great daughter of fire and air)
Your wings paused before me, giant whispers

Mine the eyes that look
Mine the eyes that close tenderly, moist
In awe of your softness, and light

Mine the eyes that see
These wings let so much light shine through
Because they're broken in a thousand places
Living, breathing, fluttering proof
All that holds us together on this earth
Is Angel's breath and tears.

A single secret,
Long kept deep inside,
Tortured a soul,
Forced a girl to hide.
Memories of pain,
Feelings of shame.
A life torn apart, limb from limb,
Soon to be together again.
The flower blossoms,
From beneath the dirt comes a life,
Shadows disapear into the light.
No longer the need to run,
No questions asked,
She won!

Alone and Scared

The brandy burned its way down my throat
and the couch was digging into my back
The room was dark and smokey
as I watched you drink your twelve pack

You took me to your bedroom
clothes everywhere, no sheets on the bed
I passed out after you said you'd be right back
and woke up to you pushing me down, heavy as lead

You forced yourself inside my body
my virginity you tore apart
I could feel my tears streak down my face
and hear the breaking of my heart

You buttoned up your pants
and left me in the room
Laying on the bloody bed
That became my innocense's tomb

I ran home a bloody, crying mess
and cried myself to sleep
I never told anyone
Of the wounds that cut so deep

But when the truth came out
It was like no one cared
So I went back into my room
Alone and scared

The night I'll never forget

I walked home all alone that time,
Despite what people say.
I can't believe how stupid I was,
To go down that hidden way.

I took two steps, just out of sight,
That's when he appeared.
I knew strait away what he had in mind,
What I had always feared.

He pushed me up against the wall,
And held me by the throat.
He undid his trousers,
And ripped open my black coat.

He held his hand across my face,
As he reached right down my top.
I tried to scream but nothing came,
Only a whisperer, 'STOP!'

He didn't listen to my request,
Instead he carried on.
He had me pinned to the floor,
Then my bravery had gone.

Here is a poem I wrote about my experiences with rape and it's reprecussions.

(I wrote this while listening to Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, so if you have it play it, it really compliments the poem)


Clarity

I needed to forgive myself
Accept my past
And that I couldn’t change it

So easily said
But not done…

I looked into my past
I tried to face it
Usually I just ignored it
But…

It was creeping up on me
Always threatening to boil over
Hiding just below the surface
Slithering beneath my façade

They say you’re past shapes you
If that’s true
Then I must be a bloody bruise
The byproduct of hatred’s wrath
Manifested into fists…
Innocence could never withstand that

But I could

I couldn’t replace my innocence
The void it left
Allowed room for hatred
And it poured in
And I welcomed it
It made my self-destruction easier
Made it easier to look in the mirror
The hatred fueled me

But we all know the flames only last so long

When hatred turned to embers
And my soul was drenched in blood
I looked at my reflection
And saw eyes that knew loss

It was then that I truly saw myself
One moment of clarity gave me insight…

I survived

My name is Danielle. I am a rape survivor of 8 years. I am also a third generation rape survivor. I wanted to submit this poem because I felt like I needed to.
Silent Scream
I feel the cold ground underneath me.
The pain and horror of his force,
takes my breath, my soul, my dignity.
I scream the utter noise of silence.
I am paralyzed with his scent.
The stench of his breath.
I grow numb as he lifts himself from my motionless body.
I lie there on the cold ground beneath me.
Lifeless, my skin permeates of that plundering creature.
What can one have after self is stripped of its purity?

My feet were free.
But could not run
They flex
And point
And flex
Towards flight
But are held by the legs
Pinned to the seat
Above the feet that are free.
They circle to the right
to the left
to the right again
Toes clenched
Against the Pain
Searing and Buring Every Inch
But my feet were free.
--J.O.

I am screaming but no sound is coming out.

“Why Me?”

Why did you do this to me?
Was it something I did,
Or was it something I said?
I told you “No”,
I didn’t want to talk about it,
But instead you enforced it.
You violated my mind,
And you got your way.
Now I am sitting here in pain everyday,
Thinking” Why me?”
I go on “trying” to act like nothing happened,
But it shows.
My friends see it,
Teachers see it and my family as well.
There is just no way of hiding the pain,
guilt and loneliness.
My whole life has changed,
Because I thought I could trust you,
But a moment later you changed.
I trusted you like everyone else,
You were a teacher,
A role model,
And a friend.
Now because of one little mistake,
We are enemies.
The wounds and pain are too real,
To real to completely heal.
You use to capture me with your light,
But now I am bound with the pain you left inside.
Your face is everywhere I go,
Whether its to school the store or mall,
You are there,
At least to me you are.
The pain and guilt has caused me so much misery,
I cant trust myself,
But let me ask you this question…
If I cant trust myself how can I trust others?
I will never be the same again,
So don’t worry,
You got what you wanted,
But this situation has taught me a lesson,
A lesson that was learned.
So now I will be stronger for myself,
And others as well.
Just give me time,
Only time can tell.

http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=Pixee_Faery the poems here have totally made me feel that i'm NOT alone and i thankyoo for that! i would like to share my poem to give back the favor!


Angel Teardrops


My guardian angel, once careless and free,
flew into the clouds and lost touch with me.
Her tears were cold and wet, falling on my face.
Her smile had left us without a trace.

Her angelic lips quivered, frozen and scared,
I felt rain clouds visiting, and had to prepare.
I knew that angels, often content,
were very special presents that God had sent.

To see one so sad,
so afraid,
so alone,
had made me weep while the cold winds had blown.

Her wings lost feathers,
comforting and soft,
falling from the stars,
floating aloft.

Her pain was felt throughout the land,
to feel true misery is impossible to stand.
I prayed so that when her hurting stops,
I'll be able to taste the angel's teardrops.

It started as fun
Jus me an u hunny bun
Kisses at the gate
After a romantic date
Now tho u fill me with HATE

Snoggin on the street
Oh why did we have to meet?
Ur touch is so tender
Ur such a great pretender

Ur breath on my neck
Ur nose I wanna break
Stale and stinking from the dope an the phete’s
As you force ur hand down my sweats

2nite uve bin drinkin
Uve taunted me 4 long
Coz paranoia got u thinking
That with u my heart don’t belong

U say u love me, this has gotta b a lie
Coz den why u makin me wanna cry?

Coz ur on Para’s
It’s me u embarrass
“Admit it u little mef”
“Jus coz Michaels deaf”
“It’s him u luv”
This coupled by a shove
“Oh poor little deaf boy”
“Cum on luv why u bein coy?”
This is ur sayin “dominate and destroy”.

The more I beg
The more u enjoy

The nite of our last date
We never made it to the gate
This is why there is so much hate



He walked me home
He even rote me a poem
He was sorry for last nite
He knew he wasn’t rite

We took a shortcut
It’s soft underfoot
I’m slightly aware
That we're nearly there

I’m really glad
That tonight hasn’t been bad
Tonight uve been a normal lad
This makes me sad
Wonderin at what we cudda had
But only a tad
Coz I kno that wiv u drugs isn’t jus a fad

Tonight we part
I kno I’ll break ur heart
U need a little tart
An I need a fresh start

Lost in thought
Of battles we’ve fought
He led me to a bush
In with a push
I’m 5ft 5 small
He’s 6ft tall

Up he lifts me
I feel summat hard behind me
His body’s got me pinned
A wall or a fence
Wait this doesn’t make sense

His hands maul
Away I crawl
It’s not a caress
He gotten me in a state of undress
He always joked that trakkies made easy access



What a beautiful act
Executed with so little tact
Opening me like a flower
He is so full of power

Its cold out here but I can’t feel it even tho now I'm sober
It’s the start of October
All I kno is fire
An my situation is dire


He drops me like hot coal
It’s my virginity he’s stole.


Para's= paranoia
Mef= idiot
phete's= amphetamines
trakkies/sweats=tracksuit bottoms

DRINKS.

It all starts with one drink,
One mistake Is all it takes.
Have A few friends over,
your parents will never know.
You start feeling dizzy & Giddy,
Cant see straight, can't keep things still.

Lie down, hush, and it will stop.
They come in and see you, silent and still.
They wonder, "wil she ever know?"
Unzip the pants, take pff the shirt.
Just one drink, is all it takes, and then you loose control.
one after another, sip by sip, but hush
my parents can't know.
The one thing you wanted to keep,
taken away by just one drink.

I accept this shame
I feel the guilt
I tried so hard
My life rebuilt
I trusted you
With heart and soul
You took away
My life a hole.
I screamed for help
But no one came
No one heard me
Call their name
You took from me
What I thought was mine
True innocence
My life divine.

My Soul

He held me down,
As he forced himself inside.
He silenced my screams,
As he tore apart my life.

He ripped away my freedom,
As he killed me inside.
He betrayed my trust,
As he stole my pride.

He took away my choice,
As he stripped my soul.
He freed my inner demons,
As he took my self control.

You say you’re sorry,
You say you never meant to hurt me,
But you did,
You raped me.

You admitted what you did,
But now you deny it,
You claim you didn’t penetrate,
But how would you know it was my body.

You were too busy pleasing yourself,
You didn’t even notice the tears streaming down my face.
I confided in you,
I trusted you,
I loved you,
And you betrayed me.

I was only eight,
Yet you took the last of my innocence.
She pulled down your pants but she was also only eight,
You continued after that.

You had us change in front of you,
That’s where it all started.
She egged you on,
She laughed as you stole what I could never get back.

I was shaking I was so scared,
While all it would have taken was a scream,
For my mom was right above us,
But I was paralyzed,
For I could not move nor talk.

You did not only take the last of my innocence,
You gave me herpes,
A terrible disease I must live with for the rest of my life,
A daily reminder of what you stole from me.

I wish, I wish, I wish that I could fly

Away from this place of hell and leave behind

My bad thoughts and pains so I can fly high

And be with the birds in the sky that are kind.

Leave these evil things which haunt me

Night and day these images play today

They kill me inside and never let me be

Others did this to me, yet I must pay.

But I must say there is no anger within

The only anger I feel is toward myself

It’s not my fault but it still feels like sin

I can’t help but say I’ve gained some wealth.

And now I’m getting better so I can be free

These experiences have helped me to see.

The past is a hard thing to escape,
When all you have been exposed to is hate;
Abuse was an everyday struggle,
My only defense was a big bubble.

He took my innocence away from me,
Was it too much to ask to let me be?
I was forced to grow up when I was six,
Maturing fast there was no simple fix.

Told that it was how you express your love,
Really messed me up; there was no kind dove,
To point out his ugly persuasiveness,
Soon after this I felt the worthlessness.

An epidemic of abuse followed;
In my pain and tears is where I wallowed.

The past is the past, it cannot change,
But why must it haunt us and cause us pain?
I did not seek help when it was in range;
Was all this hard work and struggle in vein?

I understand his sickness and forgive,
I just do not understand this one thing,
Why do I not hate him and choose to live?
He threw me around and thought he was king.

He took my innocence away from me;
How could he rationalize what he did?
Was it too much to ask to let me be?
I trusted him for I was just a kid.

When he was mad he did not give a damn,
Who he hurt because in the end he ran.

Tears flow down from her bruised face.
She tries to muffle her cries.
She fears he will return.
Her cries are heard, he returned.
Another swing to the head, and another.
The next time he hit,
she went black.
When she comes to, her father was still there.
This time he looked happy.
Maybe he was happy she was alive.
Maybe he was happy she can stil get up.
Maybe he just wanted to hurt her again.
His arm reached down to life her.
She saw a tear in his eye.
So sincere, she kew the fights were over.
She waited her whole life for this.
Just for a father, not a fighter.
Her dreams finally came true.

http://www.myspace.com/iloveyourskinohsowhite Its To Hard To Bare...These feelings..

It's all taken over
The pain the emptiness
The insanity
It's too hard to bare
The fear the pain the anger
My heart has turned cold
From your unnaturally natural ways
The way you can take sanity
And innocence away
And take some ones mind and twist it around
to make them think they are the ones who
were wrong
To make them think it was all there fault
You have got me
You have me in your trap
You have twisted my mind into your wrath
You have me where you want me
Afraid...feeling worthless... feeling empty…
Not able to go on living life the way it should be
You have me thinking about you, not even knowing that I do
I can truly say I'm afraid
You haunt my mind, you haunt my thoughts, my dreams
my soul...
Not a day goes by that you don't run through my mind
Your voice your face your actions the way you tore me apart
Everything repeats.. daily...horribly
I can't show you
What you have done to me
How you have recreated me
What you stole from me
The anger and pain you have given me
I hate you
I truly fucking hate you
I hate your face.. Your smirks your laughs
Your ways of thinking you did nothing wrong
And the way you think you will be able to get away
with what you've done
Your eyes your stare your mind you manipulativeness
I hate the way you ruined me from the inside out
I hate everything about you
You will get what's coming to you... One day you will feel all this ... all this I feel inside... but 10 times worse... I hate you and I hope you fucking die while you are getting raped... I hope hell treats you nice

Yesterday you hurt me”

Yesterday you hurt me,
But I think it was my fault,
Cause I’m the one who made you mad,
And I’m the one you mad you sad,
I thought that I was through with you,
But you wouldn’t let me go,
I thought I could make you leave,
If only my love didn’t show,
Yesterday I forgave you,
Cause I think it was my fault,
And when I came to school today,
I acted like nothing happened,
Today it still hurts inside,
And all I can really do is make it all hide,
Cause yesterday you hurt me.

Hurting heart
aching pain
horrific memories trapped inside my brain
I cannot escape
I cannot flee
for my persuer is family
I gave him my love
like a true daughter should
I gave him my trust like a child would
he built a relationship
then went in for the kill
he told me he loved me and that he always will
rubbing, fondling, moaning and groaning
shock and disgust rushed through me inside
I knew I had to get away knew I had to hide
I made an excuse to get away
told him to stop and tried to go
sometimes he held me, never letting me go
My spirit was broken
but I was too afraid, to shocked to tell
it would throw my mothers life into HELL
years and years the abuse continued
I slipped into silent agony
trying to ignore the memories
until one day
it all spilled out
in a mess of tears and my mothers doubt
nothing happened
and I felt ashamed
maybe this is the way families behaved
Now it is out it has surfaced once again
and I realize it is wrong
now I can begin to heal, and for the first time in a long time my heart fills with a joyous song
the abuse is over
I am finally free

Nine years ago.......
Innocence ended;
body disemboweled;
Lucifer befriended..

His voice lingers in me
like that in a song.....
it's too much to bear

"don't worry, this won't take long."

And I cannot come to grips
with what's been taken away...
too young to wed,
yet too old to play.

Look in the mirror;
did I do something wrong?

"don't worry, this won't take long."

Some wounds do not heal with time;
as I still your face next to mine
(when I sleep)
Put on a brave face,
though it's hard (to keep)
the appearance of normalcy,
yet, still I press on.....

"don't worry, this won't take long."

A poem: I would like to say to anyone sitting home crying and feeling sorry for themselves to stop, journal , focus on helping other people and affecting change in society and the laws, and making the world safer!
Clueless:

I found the blueprints
I located the key
To open the secret
treasure box
To look for clues
For healing within me.

But what I found
in the box
Was a map to your house
And all this time spent
on me
When you held the clue

That helping you
Is what healing
Is all about! Barbie ( raped 03 no conviction)

I used to feel bad for myself and then I thought of this poor child...and what would you say and do to make her feel better or safer...
For one I write to delegates in my community to institute tougher laws...be an advocate...to help other people: here is another poem:I would like to dedicate this poem to everyone that has been hurt (raped etc)to reach out and help someone else, because that is what healing is all about!

Poor Thing


You'll Never believe the nightmares

Never know the pain you caused

You'll never feel the scar you left

The things you stole and everything I lost

You took my body and tore it in half

You took my childhood my heart and my laugh

You took everything I kept for myself

And now everything is gone

I made a mistake going with you

But you made more than a mistake

You made a choice

Your choice left me scared and hurt

I couldn't face anyone

I was too ashamed

The day you left I was relieved

And now your back and I can't breathe

I thought I was over this

Now I'm not so sure

When I think about it

I'm tired of living with this all on me

Some say I should forgive and forget

But I'm gonna make the day you met me

A day you'll regret

Now your gone from my life

And I'm not your poor thing anymore

HE RIPED APART MY FREEDOM
HE TOOK AWAY MY CHOICE
HE BURNED MY INNER SOUL
HE SILENCED MY SCREAMING VOICE
INNOSENCE IS GONE
LEFT WITHOUT A TRACE
MY FRAGILE HEART'S BEEN SHATTERED
REPLACED BY EMPTY SPACE
PRETEND IT DIDN'T HAPPEN
JUST A HORRIBLE DREAM
I INSTANTLY WAKE UP
WITH A PAINFUL, CRYING SCREAM
IT'S NOT A DREAM, IT HAPPENED
THE DEVIL STRIPPED MY SOUL
AND AFTER HE WAS FINISHED
SO WAS ALL MY SELF CONTROL
REALITY'S LOST FOREVER
HAPPINESS SLIPPED AWAY
NEVER AGAIN TO RETURN
DARKNESS FILLS MY DAY

http://profiles.myspace.com/users/4657261 I'm a survivor

Don't think you got away with what you did to me
You try to hide what really happened, shielding people to see

We both know what happened on December 15, that warm Wednesday morning
When my whole life changed forever, it came down pouring

I came over because I thought you were a great guy
I never thought later on I would be asking why?

You took something away from me I can never get back
Being raped by you made me realize what you lack

You lack manhood, a real man would never commit such a crime
You will pay someday, just give it time

I am angry and confused as to why you lied to the police
You told them I had consented, the truth should have been released

Devestation, humilation and hatred are some of the feelings I felt
You made up a lie, and for that lie one day you will melt

You'll melt when you die and go straight to hell where you belong
I hate you Phil,what you did to me was wrong

I heard the abmulance go off and I wonder if it's coming for me. Coming to rescue me from my own captivity. I hear the siren going off and it sounds the same as my repeted sobs of hate, anxiety and fear. I hope the nurse can revive my mind body and soul to fill the emptyness he left behind; a hole.I remember it like it was yesterday, he ripped off my pants and stuck it in me, disregarding my innocent plea as he repeted over and over agian, " hold me." I realized the battle I had to fight I'd lost so i lay back in submission to save my life at all costs. But the burning desire with in my heart would not give up and let me fall appart. Pushing him away get off me I scereamed and he did after another hour it seemed. When he finished he wanted to sit there and talk. But me I went in my room, my door I had to lock. He used the bathroom and washed his hands, little did I realize a perfect stranger was soon to become my biggest fan. Phone call after phone call from area code five six two talking some mess about I never ment to hurt you. But I knew better than to answer those calls; but what I didn't know what that one of his friends live just down the hall. To this day I still resent, the one thing he claims he never ment. but how can you take something so consecreated, my dignity, my pride, my love of life is now all jaded. Every night I lay me down to sleep, the tears trickle down my face as I weap. He's out there somewhere I know that much. The fact the police couldn't catch him make me sick to my guts.

This isn't really poety, more like a journal entry, but here ya go.

The Aftermath......2 months later.

Life is still spiraling downward.So badly I had to set up an appointment with my therapist, so badyly I'm getting more depressed, so badly I want to hide and shut out the world, so badly I wouldn't answer the phone or make the phone call.I almost feel like I've regressed after making so much progress. The more I have to cry, the more I don't want to. I've actually found that I can escape into a book and forget about the pain which was once emotional and mental, but has now escalated to something physical. I can't breathe. It's like ya know when your friend jumps out and scares you and you have that initial feeling of being startled. That's the feeling I have in my chest all the time, sometimes less than others.
Today I took a nap and just layed there waiting for either the pain to go away or to fall in to a deep sleep of supperssion and utopia. I didn't want to think, I didn't want to feel, but I did. Then I picked up I know why the caged bird sings and got lost for an hour in the 1900's where racism was prominent and 2 black children experiance it's wraths. I'm only 50 pgs deep, but I don't care what I read as long as long as I can comprehend the words and paint vivid pictures in my memory to erase the ones that normally appear.
I'm at the point where I'm so unstable,I could cry at any moment. I hate the way my eyes fill with tears and the tears sit right on the brink of my eyelid ready to fall and trickle down my face like a rain drop trickles down a window on a cold stormy day. I hate the way my nose burns like when you touch hot metal from the seat belt in the car. At first the pain is intese, but slowly it dulls and the pain subsides. I hate the way a lump forms in my throat like when you swallow a little too much food at once and you're not quite sure if it's gonna make it down and it's some what painful but bordering more on discomfort.
I hate the fact that everyday I rise it's a constant battle with food. I'm so consumed and conserned with what I eat, how much I eat and how often I eat. Sometimes I almost have and anxiety attack when I go to the fridge. I get that same suffocating startling fear with in my chest and I take food out, put it back, throw it away, get some more and engourge myself in a feast of fats, carbs and calories. Afterwards I feel guilty and I just think about how I'm one step closer to getting fat and I fear that I won't be able to fit into my clothes the next day. I think about how everything I eat has an effect, even if it's just juice and not 100 percent juice. I think about how I'm not excercising cause I'm out of season and I'm already on the brink of disgust with my body and how I'm slowly loosing muscle. I look in the mirror and I see my defined abs but I also see my imperfections which stare back at me and standout on my body. I look at my hair and I see the uneveness, the split ends and the dull color and I pull it up to hide it's imperfections. Then I look at the cat and I am green with envy as I see her resting and living in a state of utopia that I could never reach. Eat, sleep and play. A life with no stress, no real fears or threats only the the happiness of a cat nip toy and mouse. and I realize her brain is far to simple to comprehend the dissonance and disheartedness society is filled with. She lies there peacefully purring. As I watch her flesh move up and down and I see the light shine on her fur; shades of brown, black, tan and white. She possess something I don't....Happiness. I can't even read mom my writings anymore. Is it because they've become so personal I can't share or because I'm ashamed? Ashamed of the intense and deep feelings I have? It's reality. A reality she never knew I had the potential to reach. A reality she never knew I could feel. But that's just it....I don't think she knows.... I don't think she knows that I DO FEEL.

A new hate grows for people everyday, especailly when I begin to realize the games niggas try n' play.But the hate I feel was caused only by me. Because I am a slave to my nievety. If I was a little bit more street smart and knew my surroundings would I still be in a situation where everything is not so astounding? Now, I walk though life with my guard up for protection. Only to make sure it isn't me who faces rejection. So I figure if I keep people at a comfortable distance, I will always be able to watch them and not be caught in the same exact instance.

Life has change and along with that so has my world view.I sit here and wish I could go back and start everything over again; like new.
The hate that lurks with in my soul continues to burn like a never ending coal and it keeps buring until the happiness is gone and my emotions are non exsistant; they are dull.

I want that numbness to come over my body so I can't feel because I fear that if I do everything will again become real.

I can't tell mom cause she thinks everythings fine, I don't want to stress her out anymore, she doesn't have time.

But I need that special friend on who I can depend and run to when I am scared and hurt and mad.But I don't know where I would begin.

I hate being dependant on other people for support, but it's not fair to me because my feelings I need to abort.
I need someone who can tell me it's gonna be ok and sooner or later the sun will shine my way.

I'm sick and tired of running around bitter. I can't wait until my mind, body and soul become a little bit fitter. Because even those who you think you can depend on, have things to do other than worry about you from sunset until dawn.

Going to a psycologist to get help is no fun. It only admits to the world you've got problems and on your heart they weigh a ton.

Everyday I awake and wish to be within the norm, and I know that I am in some shape or form but once my heart stops all this hurting, maybe I can stop all this poetry and so called wording

http://freewebs.com/vimontmarquette It feels like years
But I can't wash off your scent
And I still have scars
From where your sweat seared my flesh

It feels like hours
When I see only your face
Through the drops of water
That won't wash your hands away

And, it's funny: I'm not ashamed
I'm not angry
I'm just scared
I'm crying for the freedom I'll never find
As long as my body is here to remind me that
I'm not safe

It feels like years
But I can't wash off your scent
And I still have scars
From where your sweat seared my flesh

It feels like hours
When I see only your face
Through the drops of water
That won't wash your hands away

we are the lucky ones
we are survivors
we get the chance to share our story
we're alive to warn others
to let them know that it can happen to them too
we can spread our knowledge
we can say i am strong
i have made it out alive
it's not easy to do
it's torn our world apart
but we're HERE
we have the power to move on
to leave this bastard in our past
although we'll have memories often
we can do it
we can move on
and live our lives
don't let yourself be a victim
what happened sucks and was indescribable
but living your life is what this bastard took away
prove him wrong
go out and be the great woman you were meant to be
you were put here for a reason
and to sit in self pity is not it
you are beautiful
with scars, yes
but everyone has them
they may not be this deep
but they have them too
remember there's others who have been through this
some worse some less
but our feelings were all the same
now it's time to show what you're made of
stand up strong
smile the most beautiful smile
and walk on
because we made it through it
we are survivors
we are the lucky ones!

I wrote that poem on one of my more difficult nights and sent it to 1 person. I posted it on here because I want to heal I don't want to hurt I want to be free. The reason why I called it torn isbecause that is what I am right now I am torn. I am torn between life as I knew it and the life I now see through differant eyes. everything is now scary and everything about me feels dirty and unclean. I lay down at night and listen to that horror everynight. I have been this way for 3 nights now tomorrow is the fourthday another day to attempt at healing. Thank you

never knowing, unexpected
painfuy you watch
reallity disconected
as fear moves one more notch

Crying is not a abilty
Screams can't be released
frozen, threatend by hostility
beat down by the beast

Ripping of the cloths
watching pride deminish
fighting painful blows
will the tourcher finish

the pain just throbs
always feel the touch
inside the heart sobs
the pain is to much

All people knowing
feeling uneasy, unclean
time ever slowing
thoughts, dreams now obscene

When will it Stop
When will fear go aside
drinking a painless swap
fear and reality colide

thoughts of death
attempts to the end
holding my final breath
thoughts, attemps, now contend

my heart is torn
Forever will I cry
my body, scorn
now, goodbye

currupted cunt carries on

this cunt feels its compolserary to comply
slurp, slut-swallow

no toxins to blame it for
no toxins to explain it for

crator sized canyon men with crator sized cocks
seeks classless cunts, actionless cunts
whores are in his holy book

fingers force the walls of the cave dowwn
imploy, dystroy- making it unclean
you just thrive for the horrified harlots

only crafty cunts cream control
she is not that creative.

You lean over her frail limp body
And stare at the piece of paper
Holding her cold little hand
You wish you could’ve saved her
One so young hopeful and happy
But was so full of pain
That sweet little smile brightened you day
But never will again
The small curled lettering
Her last words to you
“I love you and I’m sorry”
Enough to give meaning but way too few
With the knife to her wrist
Her life was cut short
Wishing you happiness
Being her final thought
The crimson blood staining your hands
Not knowing how much pain she went through
Your heart left weeping
Her story was true
Why didn’t you listen when she cried out
You were the only one who knew
Confused and tormented
She ran to you
But you didn’t understand
What you meant in her heart
Her soul has gone
So it’s too late to start
What that man did to her
You knew you couldn’t heal
But still you could’ve held her
And told her how you feel
She’s gone now
Her heart has stopped its beat
The house is cold and quiet
No noise coming from the street
And in this silence
You shed that one lone tear
For the girl you loved and cared for
The one that you held so dear


In memory of Bree
I miss you girl you'll always be in my heart
I just hope they find that man and cut him down to size
No-one needs to be put through as much as she was
RIP Bree

VAST OCEON OF LONLINESS.

BEYOUND
BEYOUND A GREY SEA,COLD AND FORMLESS
MET A GREY SKY
I FELT MYSELF BEING PULLED
TOWARDS OBLIVION,
WHERE THE FOAMING SEA
SMASHED AGAINST UNFEELING PEBBLES
CRASHING RATTLING,FEAR GREW STRONGER
A TANGIBLE PULL TOWARDS
THE EDGE OF NOTHINGNESS

I hate you for what you've done
you took my innocence all in fun
The pain you gave is all too real
physical and mental i still feel
You left me here cold with rage
so much anger, such a young age
I'm trying to forget the past
but these painful memories i fear will always last
Regrets are all that fills my head
as I'm lying in my bed
Then I fell like i did wrong
had a few beers, hit the bong
But then I rememberall the times I tried saying no
pleaded and begged for you to let me go
I tried to fight you but you were so much stronger than me
couldnt get away so you heard my persistent plea
but you didnt care how much i cried
you didnt care that I was dying inside
You entered my with no remorce
taking me with so much force
Hurting from all the pain you brought
It hurt so bad, more than you thought
after you were done you threw me to the side
i got away and told people, but you lied
you made everyone believe im some kind of whore
you said I wanted it and asked for more
why couldnt you just take responsibility for what you did
why'd you have to rape a kid
I am only 15 years old
i hope you know this grudge i will hold
i hope you remember b/c i know i will
the anger i hold makes me want to kill
i only wish the cops would have gotyou
and that everyone would believe my words to be true
what i really wish is that it wouldnt have happend
but wishes dont come true in the end
just know that i will come for you someday
i will get you.. somewhere.. some way

Painful Path of Memories

The path im taking is forever long
tryin to undo the wrong
As pain ful as that road may be
Im trying to erase that memory
The night started all in fun
but turned tragic when it was done
With a clouded mind i tried sayin "No"
Tried to run but nowhere to go
Do i not have a say
I never thought I'd lose it this way
What happend to that romantic night
Making love by candle light
Now that dream is down the drain
Forced to lay here and take the pain
After its over and I'm all used
I lay there feeling torn and confused
How could this have happend to me
My life WAS going perfectly
I'm tired of every sleepless night
when terrible dreams awake me in fright
Im continuing down this long road
to finally release this painful load.

You wake up in sweat
Always looking over your shoulder
Aware of all people around
Nightmares consum your sleep
Fear takes over your life
You do not fall but get up
Realization sets you free
It's not your fault you were touched by unwanted hands
You are courageous
Enduring all obstacles
Make you live once again
Strength is found within
You are now a survivor

http://www.geocities.com/priscillamariethomas This happened to me about 5 yrs ago...
I hope the telling helps someone else to come forth and be healed.

Almost
-------------------------------------------

She drifts through life so innocent
thinking of the great romance
Until one day she meet a champ
so it seemed in her ignorance

He walked the stage, golden in his self glory
white smile as he told stories
She never thought, She never guessed
That it all was done in jest

Mistaught she began to notice things
like his words with the hollow ring

Mistrust she began to feel when
he pressed close, hand clasping her waist

Misdeed His mistake, when her, he began to case

Almost was my theme
because I remeber not even trying to scream
as he pulled my hair, I scratched his face
Time Ticked The Dying Race

I refused to let him see my fear
as he fought to pull down my underwear
fought to claim me
fought to a fevered pitch
until with a few well placed kicks, a right hook and a brick
I was able to finally end it.

Almost in a dream state
Sunday morning, I thought of heavens pearly gates
As I sat in church and watched him
parade on that golden stage

In a purple costume
dressed to assume
His carefully thought up place
He sought to dismiss
a ALMOST rape
because a leader
a pastor
one who leads the church
coudn't be touched by such dirt

I've finally met my beast and she
came forth waiting for the kill
I Almost forgot...
I am a Warrior still

So,
Now I wait, I bid my time
because I know
as his blood flows
The time ticks
and because of it
I'll have my chance
To take his life
from his hands...

I've been Rape
I was crying out for help
but pain is all I felt
As he put his hands around my throat
I began to choke
And, he laughed as if everything was a joke
In my vision
It look like smoke
To me, it felt so sore
I ask, why did you do this for
I had alot of love in store
He did me wrong
I tried to reach for the phone
And he pulled out his cone
And asked me to give him some dome
I said no
And he threw me on the floor
He pent me down
and ask me how this sound
He kicked me in the chin
then I knew my life was about to end
I knew I had to try, or I was going to die
I asked him to let me go
he replied "oh no"
I tried to fight back
And I cried out stop "Zack"
He started to get slack
He went out the room
And there out go
"Zoom"
out the door,
I screamed out "Zack no more"
I ran over to the old lady's house
Where it was quiet as a mouse
He ran over there too
Sayin I love you boo
For a minute, I didn't know what to do
I told him, its threw
After that, he went back
I ran to Betty's home
When they asked me "What's wrong?"
Then I told them
I'VE BEEN RAPED!

JUST WALKING DEAD AFTER THE VIOLENT CYCLE OF YOU

I'm so sad, can't stop crying
Didn't go to the Unversity today, just couldn't think.
Just got the word from surgents, something else that you took from me durning the abuse I took.
I vowed I would love you and I did, but how I survied you is not understood.

Flashs still go thur my mind, waking at night shaking,sweating and wondering why that I am still so afraid.

Only thing I can say to any person that feels the need to cause another pain.
No matter how mad you get, don't do something that someone will live to regret.

Never hit, nor take what was taken from me.
My him, my he, my husband, took my dignity.
My heart, my soul, my inside of whom I was and left me
wondering....

But that was not enough for him you see.
He taught me fear, he gave me nightmares with lack of sleep.
He didn't stop there!

In the end he took, my face, he took my life!
But how can this be you ask, your alive!!!!

There is no justice for this tradgy!
There is no justice for what happen.
He got away with it and me,
I'm just another number amoung the "walking dead"!

How do I feel, how do I deal,
with this violence aftershock.
Waterworks is all that is left and he didn't take that.
I have gone thur the cycle of violence with husband abuse,
I was a victim and now I am a survier I know!
I'm sure that if he could he would, take that too.
But I'm here telling you, if I can make it thur the darkness, pain and horror of Domestic violence, so can you!

God be with all of you, there is a light glowing at the end.

Hello- the web page said i may post my poem here it's rather long..but it's just how it turned out..



The sheets.

The sheets fall in their place
As I make my bed.
I breathe in the fresh dryer sent
And close my eyes.

I remember how it was before
Before he left, before I was free.
Things that he's done, stay with me now
Never to be forgotten, maybe coped with.

Each day I begin to be stronger
More and more like a survivor
Then a tanted, torn victum.
I fell more alive each day
Rather then dying with each passing hour.

I look foward to the morning, when I lay down to sleep
Rather then dreading another day of vived memories
My time for refreshment, comes with making the bed.
A weird therapy I am assured.
But theres something about taking the old, dirty sheets off, and replacing them with new clean, and fresh ones.

Not to kill you
You have no idea
Of what you stole
Or maybe you do
I am trying to
Rebuild my life
After what you've done
There is no solace
Only anger and pain
I won't kill you
You deserve worse than death
You are so pathetic,
You'll do it again
I'll be there

Survival

Yes, I'm still breathing
Walking among the living
I feel empty and hollow
Like I should be dead
I am angry and afraid
My heart is full of dread

I do have hope
I remember the person I used to be
Who and what I was
Before that night
You stole her from me.

I sometimes see her reflection
That woman who was so carefree
Only then do I know
Not only have I survived
But, I will Live again!!!

YOUR PLEASURE IS MY PAIN

You felt the pleasure,
while I cried.
Taking from me,
my only pride.
Threatened me,
with my life,
while to my neck,
you held your knife.
I was just a toy,
now gone from your mind.
But unlike you,
I'll never forget.
Because your ways were so unkind.
You're a filthy male,
I'm not your fan,
and from my life I ban.
While I screamed,
Blood entered my mouth,
undertaking my soul,
while with the devil you teamed.
A piercing pain,
you began,
it's never stopped,
from this what have you of an hour of gain?

I HATE YOU.

Some Poems:

"Freedom"
Fist pounding on flesh
The copper taste fills my mouth
Anger in his eyes; black with hatred
Pain followed by apologies
Flowers to mend the battered
Gifts to keep the silence
Words of venom sting a tender heart
Pain that lingers wakes me
Wrists are bound, held down
Turn away it will be over soon
Expression of tenderness or another form of torture
It means nothing
Lay still he'll be done soon
I break inside and pray:
"If this is love set me free".

"silence"
Countless faces I can't really see
I know they're there
A hunter never stops
They flash against my mind
It's all my fault
That he hurt them too
Silence lets the wolf stay free
Others cry into the night
Only to bleed in the morning
And hide it with a phony smile in the afternoon
And all your suffering is my fault
I'm sorry
Please find the voice I couldn't

Last December

You came without warning
I never knew you were even there,
I wasn't yours to take
You obviously didn't care.

You made me belive I was wrong
Everyone else did too,
That I made it all up
What was I supposed to do?

You took the easy way out
blaming it all on me,
I will no longer be your victim
I will continue to be free.

Rape is what they call it
Yet no word can describe the pain,
something as horrible as rape
doesn't even deserve a name.

If you were locked away
Lucky is what you would be,
You deserve the same as I will go through
Like life long pain and agony.

My life will forever be changed
by something I will always remember,
It's been over a year now
To be exact, last December.

Sitting here, You think it's over
You think you cannot go on.
You think that you are nothing,
Just a worthless pile of living trash
With absolutely no purpose.

Oh, if only you knew how wrong you are.
If only you knew how strong you are.
If only you knew...

Heed my words, oh lost one.
Draw from this the strength you need
To get on with life.

Worry not about whether or not to talk to someone.
Do not be afraid to reach out.
Do not be afraid to ask.
Do not fear.

You have heard my messege.
Let these words written here guide you to a better Lifestyle.

Hope is within your grasp.

Hole of Silence:

There is a vengeful,
burning pain of memory in her chest.
She is imploding in spirit
but clinging boldly to the sensation of hope.
And yet,
she has the Disease -- it's catching -- every 90 seconds now they say.
She's trying to save what was left of her -
but it's always just a matter of time before the
shrapnel
begins to rip her guts to shreds again -
(because real annihilation happens from the inside out.)
Clingling boldy to the wreckage,
editing as she goes and stopping,
Smacked hard, right there in her tracks if
she feels she might fall apart ....
.... keeping the narrative linear,
...always linear.
Oh, but The Scream has grown too big now,
bursting up through her throat,
ripping through her memory,
wiping out her soul
with no containment of her blood or grief.

AND STILL SHE NEVER MAKES A SOUND.

No one hears a thing.

Because as violently as it began,
The Scream recoils,
turns in on itself,
sinking back into her body and
taking her with it into a dark, black
Hole of Silence.


THE CHARM:

Stalk me, rape me
Walk away
Silence, madness
Night turns to day
Blade at my neck
blade at my breast
i give what i can
he steals the rest.
Torture, torment
Sick, twisted love
This isn't what men
were supposed to be made of.
Beat me, rape me
Leave me with your rage
All hope is gone
Trapped inside this violent cage.
Torture, torment
sick words that maim
Silence, Madness
Ripped Open In Shame.

Beat me, rape me
four times, The Charm
So much carnage,
so much harm.

Lost inside the memory
Tears i cannot control
Forever remanded in blood
Never again whole.
Judgement day is wasted ~~
he's released in a few short years
While i have been held over
in a prison of fear.
Stalk me, then rape me
Spirit slowly erased
My soul pours out in blood
My strength has been displaced.
Memory rapes me again and again
The blade sharper than ever
Tangled in this hnightmare of violence
With a shame i cannot sever.
Torture, Torment
Sick, Twisted Love
This isn't what men were
supposed to be made of.

The Fight to Forgive
What you did left a big whole in my heart
Something no one should have to impart
I have been taught that forgiveness is the key
It can make me ‘everything I want to be’
I want to be loved and give love in return
And not fear the sake of being burned
I want to scream just to say
That my life should matter to me everyday
My life has been short at only eighteen
My will to live is not so keen
I’m trying to forgive but never to forget
The way you make me fell regret
I should have spoken up I should have said
That what you made me do makes me want to be dead
I can’t help but think it wasn’t your fault
Perhaps I said or led the revolt
If it was me I’m truly spent
Because I can’t beat the feeling of being bent
My heart pounds every time I remember
The times we had together
I was once told the world is a f***d up place
They were wrong to label it with no grace
There must be joy that can be found
Not everyone is sexually bound
And now I set you and me free
To my heart no longer be
I want you to leave me and my family alone
Because you no longer have a hold over my clone
I am to be me
And I want the whole world to see
That I can be me because I am not alone

i never thought it could happen to me
the sweet little innocent girl
who was to know what was to go on
i went into a room with a boy older than me
and what i got was a night to remember
he raped me and beat me till i couldnt move
i never told
but now i know i have to suffer the pain
because i have no one to blame
i never thought it could happen to me,
but guess what it did
how will i ever let it be?

i was there as he stole my childhood
as he stole my dreams, and killed my soul
I saw his eyes, the emptiness
as his whole manner grew so cold
I was there as my world came to a hault
fear, rejection, shame could never describe
I felt the pain , I experienced the moment
Sitting on the bathroom floor i cried
I was there when the love I had , died
no longer was I a child, he took that away
I was now diffrent, I had to be a woman
He stole part of me I didnt want to give that day
I was there , I saw his eyes, i felt his breath
I'm still there , with pain no one can see
I was there, he raped me, I'm left there
He moved on, and I'm left with the memory

The Unforgiven
Reminiscing years gone past. Feelings of regret, remorse and all that's relinquished, The unresolved, unforgiven & unforgotten need for their soul's to repent unto firey pits in hell. Not even my Master of this mangled Labryinth can fracture icy acrylic shells of torment. Towering the worlds evil in the highest skies below me I secure beams of steel. I'm eternally enclosed in this full metal jacket. My infantry builds walls and welcomes armies of evil minyon's just nursing lifetimes of mazes within. Deadend, nowhere mazes surround my weary soul. Empires I created just incubating my confustion & sadness, accompanied by a diverse dimension of each rendition. You get the idea, you too will soon give up on me. My worlds will not merge as one even for one single ray of light. eternally alone in black solitude, continuously attempting usless efforts to find Peace of Mind. For the eternal bloody rule, written in stone, No mercy here infinately. Mercy..that diversified rapture..never to penetrate my weary soul

tread softly as you enter
the cave of my heart

speak softly as you speak
my name
softly, tenderly

do not envy my passionate lover
he has prepared the way

His name is Jesus and his words
dispel my fears
and scatters the darkness
as he bids you enter in.

crazy?

Am I crazy
can't you see
what's moving inside of me?

A dark cloud
now lifting to reveal
the painful memories etched in steel

who can see
flashbacks inside me
tearing me apart with glee

who can see
anxiety killing
memmories truly chilling

who can see
body aching
with memories quaking

They only see
hardworking and professional
stubborn and careful

They only see
wife and mother
cute children to care for

Am I Crazy?
Can I survive,
What's inside?

I am 17 years old. Writing is my life. I was raped 2 years ago by a few different men within a week. I was completely lost. It is coming up on the 2 year mark and I'm terrified. I am a survivor but sometimes I don't feel like it. The man who reaped me first is in prison for drugs. He is getting out on the 2 year date from when he raped me. I ran across your website and I think it's great that all of you have the strength to go on and to write about it all. I'm scared to talk about everything that happend. But I think that you are all great. Keep remembering that you are a survivor. I have to remind myself that every day.

don't want to say
Tuesday, October 28th 2003 - 04:07:30 PM
I thought that I knew him,
I thought that he cared.
I've never felt this worthless,
Life seems so unfair.

He put on a front,
That he was a good guy.
Then they raped me,
Now I wish they would just die.

We said we were "in-love",
" We finally found someone we could trust",
But when push came to shove,
Our relationship went to dust.

He cheated on me the whole time,
When all along,
I thought he was only mine.

Saturday was a horrible night,
I got so drunk,
That I could barely put up a fight.

They were "man enough" to rape me,
But not "man enough" to admit it.
I just want everyone to see,
All the bad things they did to me.

They called me names,
Hit, pushed, and slapped me.
They said I was to blame,
But I can't understand or see.

Almost every night I sit and cry,
Thinking "God, Why me?".
With no answers to anything,
It's so hard to want to be.

But what's done is done,
We can't change the past.
So I slip into the future,
With these sickening memories that will last.

Praying " GOD PLEASE",
"JUST LET THEM DIE FAST"
